3 Weeks Post Rhino, One Side is Beginning to Sink?

May 4, 2012
Asked By:alexi999 in Miami, FL

I had rhinoplasty about a 3 weeks ago and I know it is still WAY too early for all swelling to be gone. On one side of my nose right above the tip, it is beginning to somewhat sink in and is a little more squishy then the other side. When you look at it straight on it looks flat on the side that is sinking and is darker due to the depth of it. I feel like there was something taken out of that side and not the other. I’m wondering if this is normal or it’s something I should be worried about.
